Reflections and Progress: thoughtfulgold

It would be interesting to know Shane’s real girth. The last time I saw him he looked bigger than I am. I would have guessed he was around 7.5” girth.

His size was something I aspired to achieve.

They mis-state his girth in the video as 5.5", reviews of many owners of the toy have the girth at 6.5"

Straight up mold endorsed by the man himself.

Looks are decieving indeed. I had guessed 7.5 for years.

Interesting. To think years ago I was trying for his size and was already there.

Thanks for the video.

I think I’m one of the only people who can say this to you, T-Golf.

You were chasing the ghost of inadequacy. The ruler didn’t matter when the concept of untold girth was your goal.

I suffered for years from this same exact thing. To the same porn stars. Wishing, wondering and hoping women I was with weren’t comparing me to these giants.

It has long since been time for that pain and trepidation to end. For both of us.

As far as the suffering over size issues goes, are you referring to the times when you were closer to your beginning size, or during the middle when you had made a bit of progress, or when you were closer to your current very large size?

Porn uses many tricks to make it seem like the porn stars are insanely large, but some porn stars like Shane Diesel defy camera tricks. I know he does Monster Cock type porn, so at best, he probably does Penis Pumping, like many people suspect, from the looks of his dick. As far as Shane Diesel goes though, I’m relatively sure that he is actually legitimately 7 inch girth, but his girth is fatter on some parts than others, and his EQ varies drastically. Maybe it’s just the effect of porn camera angles, when drawn back to normal webcam angles. I do know that Shane’s size, even in far shots, seems much larger than the dildo in that video. I was watching a video with him and Naughty Alysha, and she can take a fist, and he still seemed pretty large.

Shorty Mac definitely has 7.6 girth or larger that you are going for. Most people think he is about 8.0 inches in girth, as in legitimately 8 inches in girth. He seems to be the largest in porn, as far as girth goes. He is definitely the largest girth that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen far too much porn. His EQ seems to be pretty poor though, so in all honesty with pumping, I have no idea how big that dude could be at the maximum. I’m staring at a Coke can right now, and he seems to be girthier than that.

It’s nice to live free of the porn comparisons. Took a long time but I did get over it.

You both gained the 2X1 inch Holy Grail, that I’m sure most members are chasing. I would be perfectly satisfied with achieving that, but I admit that I would probably be more motivated to keep going if I reach those goals. I’m definitely putting that work in now. A year from now, I want to look at my log, that I’m tracking, here and on my computer, and to be very satisfied with how much work I actually put in towards this goal, and towards my bodybuilding.

My starting size is around TG’s starting size, so I’ve been very motivated my his results. Sometimes it takes someone else who started where you are starting, and shattered their goal, in order to truly get you to have laser focus. I have about 10 things that get me that zen-like focus, where I can rise above my life circumstances simply by working intensely hard on my goals while enjoying the work I’m doing on those goals. PE and bodybuilding are definitely now 2 of them.

You guys (TG and Titleist) are a tremendous motivation to me. I am taking what I’m doing 20 times more seriously than even 2 months ago when I thought I was being serious. When I make a few purchases, that I have planned, I will really be able to have an even better mindset. When you’re putting so much hard work into something that is a goal, the hard work and attitude change help to chase away most of my anxiety on this subject because I’m actually putting in the work to get to a level of comfort.

When you’re like me, and your motivations are less dysmorphic than aesthetic/need-based, at first it seems that 8x6 being perfectly satisfactory is a good thing. But in practice, I agree more with how you guys approach it. You set no ceiling for your expectations, and you prefer to view having larger sizes as opening opportunities, not closing them. I think it’s fair to say that I view things much differently now, and I am open to many more possibilities when it comes to all of this. I’m even more glad that I was persistent in asking questions. I’ve learned a lot more than I thought I would.

I wasn’t specific as that fear was long-standing.

I’m pretty sure the dildo is accurate. Just because camera lenses and tricks are the order of the day. Camera men are paid to make you see what they want. If Shane went into a mold and came out at 6.5” that is still ridiculous and plenty for a good camera man and waif-sized actress to struggle with. A grand spectacle to inspire inadequacy in the largest of viewers.

Shorty Mac, pretty sure he’s a silicone injection case. I disregard him as a rule. Nothing about the way he has sex is appealing.

Hey TG how are you? Saw that you will keep going forward on your plans on PE that is great I am happy for you, sorry what happened to your glans, how is the healing going? Are you using some pain killers?

Wish you the best

Abraço

I am alright.

I’ve got everything about the glans burn listed in my picture log. I think I have over 10 posts on just that topic at this point.

** Here is the latest entry.

Thank you for the well-wishes.

Normally they don’t use a mold, they use a laser 3D scan, then edit it in CAD and add/edit balls, add suction cup and whatever, then CAD-CAM a mold to produce the dildos.
The porn star dildoes are notorious for being “stretched” a bit in CAD to make them a fraction bigger than the real thing.

But having said that, Diesel is big. In his early days he looked more long than thick, but with the years of pumping he got much thicker. Especially after that left cavernosa blowout (bulgeout?). You can date his photos etc if they are pre-post blowout. I would have guessed 6” girth pre blowout, 6.5 to 7 with blowout, depending on EQ.

Thoughtfulgold, you can easily get from your current 6.1 to 6.5 in a year of pumping with higher force levels. Getting girth gains from pumping at 6” is MUCH easier than trying to add pumped girth on (say) a 4.5 girth unit. :)

I’ll bet many of his videos are post pump but at the facilty to get the data they had him at regular erection. Explains the spongy, barely erect look in most of his work. Jack Napier looks similar in a lot of videos but gets harder.

The stretched thing I did not know. So the dildo is likely larger than the man himself by a touch? That’s quite amusing. The insight on the process I appreciate. Really helps put a handle on things.

I kinda feel like what you’re saying is true. I’m incredibly motivated to get back at my apparatus. I’m SURE I can get straight and thicker than I ever imagined in reasonably short order…if I could just get this damn burn resolved…*sighs*

I truly appreciate the vote of confidence Romeo.

I also just wanted to thank you for posting this. This just blew my mind. One of my biggest goals was to be thick enough that a girl couldn’t wrap her hand around me, like pornstars like Shane Diesel and others - and it turns out that he has roughly the same girth as me. This really puts things in perspective. Amazing what phototrickery can do.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the video does mis-state his girth at 5.5” while owners of the toy measure it at 6.5” mid shaft. I do mention this earlier, further up in the thread. My main point was that Shane Diesel isn’t 7.5”+ like so many of us originally thought.

My apologies, basshaman.

I can ‘t state as a fact that the Diesel dildo is larger than life but that is a trend with porn star dildoes. And even if it was taken from a body mold then that still goes to CAD later to add things like surface texture, remove undercuts etc. The temptation to "tweak" the CAD model must be pretty high. I think some of the veins might have been edited, veins on one side of the dildo look a bit copy-and-paste to me.

I can sense you’re itching to get back into the process! Very understandable. I hate rehab breaks, especially the ones where you have to limit erect time or it re-tears the wound etc. They’re the worst.

Re the wound; remember that even if the flesh LOOKS healed it will still be soft delicate flesh and will slowly get stronger over many weeks until it is eventually as strong as normal flesh.

Flesh heals much faster if it is warm, at body temp or a touch over that. Google for "optimal temperature for wound healing". The tip of your glans is probably significangly below body temperature, furthest from the body etc. A warm rice pack works wonders. Your cock sock idea is great, but still might have the glans below body temp. According to wiki even a 2 degree temp drop significantly slows healing.

Also, vacuum applied to the wound is a relatively new, but proven, medical technique to speed wound healing. Have a look at the wiki link at the top of this post. :) They are using 3 to 5 inHG…

Personally, I think your just-closed wound is still much too delicate to put it near a pump, but maybe in a few days you cound try phasing-in some wound rehab pumping at very low vacuum like 2 inHg. Obviously you’d have to watch out for too much expansion, because even if the vac level was ok it could still rip because of the glans expansion.
